Paul has spent a lifetime at the club, as can be seen by his world-record holding tally of nicknames.

Currently fixture secretary at the club, a role which was long held by his father Eric, Paul stepped into his shoes around 6 or 7 years ago. Future predictions suggest that Paul's son Jordan is lined up for the job around 2020.

Once famously made the 2nd team minibus travel with 10 men so that son Jordan & his tractor could get on.

Spent some time in the 1980s hiring out his services as a professional 12th man, effecting run out after run out, but sadly those mechanical arm days are behind him, the lads reckon he's more Meccano arm now.

Still to be seen stylishly driving through the covers at a ground near you.
